Linguistics Circle Sessions

Linguistics Circle Sessions are held on most Friday afternoons during semester, 4-5pm, on campus and on Zoom. UQ staff and students, staff and students from other universities, and members of the general public are welcome.

The Circle is an opportunity to share and to hear from guest speakers, UQ staff and HDR students working on research and topics of interest in Linguistics, Language Revitalisation and Applied Linguistics.
